Serve on a Board

The City of Denton encourages your participation on boards and commissions that advise on a wide range of community issues and services.

Boards and Commissions are an established feature of Denton’s municipal government. They offer citizens an opportunity to participate in the City’s governmental process. Their influence and value are significant because they lend a more diverse viewpoint for the City Council to consider.

Members of Boards and Commissions are appointed by the City Council. Any citizen interested in serving on a Board or Commission should complete an application. All applications are retained for two years. If a vacancy occurs on the board you are interested in, your application will be reviewed by the Council. Board members must be qualified voters of the City and cannot be in arrears on any city taxes, utility service charges, or other obligations to the City.
